GLENAVON grabbed the lead on 22 minutes through Jay Magee whose effort from a Conor Hagan free-kick took a big deflection through a crowded penalty area on its way past Niall Morgan.

Niall Henderson came closest to doubling Glenavon's advantage five minutes into the second half when smashed the ball off the underside of the bar from just inside the area.

Diarmuid O'Carroll came close to doubling Glenavon's lead on 80 minutes only to send an effort just wide.

But Dungannon stormed back to snatch a share of the spoils two minutes into stoppage time when, from a Shea McGerrigan corner, Dermot McCaffrey tapped the ball home at the back post.
